Re: Necessary Additions to "Starter Kit"?

In my opinion, a very good start would be

2 Full Vex kits (extra receiver, motors, metal etc.) This is really worth the value

The programming kit (you definatly need the cable, and easyC is great, even for the experienced programmer)

1 Ultrasonic Sensor

1 Line tracking sensor kit (not the light sensor, which is somewhat useless)

2 sets of optical shaft encoders (4 encoders total)

An extra reciever, and the battery pack are essential.

Although this may cost quite a bit ($400-$500 total), if you think of what you are getting, it is quite a deal, not to mention that any serious competitor in the FVC will need most of these things.
